Summer Transfer Thread 2014

How we doomed?

We replaced Borini and got a 6 million profit.

Doomed in the sense of not being able to replace Suarez. He took your team to another level

So far have signed Lambert and Remy looks next. Huge downgrades

Tottenham Mk II

 

I agree. Suarez took your team to another level.

 

Dont get me wrong, Sterling and Sturridge came along leaps and bounds and hopefully they maintain that. But considering you got champs league, you need that elite baller like Suarez on your team, no question about it. Remy injury free can get some goals. Lambert is prem proven. But as i said...for champs league u need someone else.

 

 

Remind me who we had up front when we won the competition and which elite level striker we had when we were ranked as the best team in Europe?

 

Our offensive options now are better than they ever were when we were shitting on everyone across the continent.

The joke of it is I was arguing with man earlier this year who were saying that Suarez wasn't CL proven and on that basis deemed RVP the better player up until I shut them down with the stats to show he had a better scoring rate in the CL.

 

The same man who were discrediting Suarez by saying he only turns up against relegation fodder now want to talk him up as the be all end all? lol at least be consistent with your bullshit.

 

 

Errm when were you shitting on everyone on the continent?

I have never said Suarez only turns up agaisnt relegation fodder and always said he's far superior than RVP

[darkman]

 

You struggled to attract top players even when Fergie was there let alone last season so don't see how you can expect much from Liverpool

Klkl

 

 

Yes you signed him but many players have turned you down to go elsewheer in recent years

[Agony]

@Flojo, the same fans and pundits that spent a whole season saying Suarez was top 3 selected in the world and best the striker in the worlb are now acting like it's a minor that he's gone because big players have left before, they have Sturridge, no player is bigger than the club etc.

And Suarez's ability to bully the relegation fodder was something Chelsea lacked in their strike force which played a big part in you finishing above them.

[time_bomb]

would deff take remy at arsenal, i think we need the depth, too many times we've had a dead bench

[gattsu]

I'm amazed that Spurs and Arsenal fans would turn their nose up at a player who has a 1 in 2 goals return in England whilst playing for Newcastle and QPR for a measly £8.5 million.

Smh reminds me of an argument I had with someone about Lukaku

Football is all about levels...yes he may have scored for QPR and Newcastle but the lad is not Arsenal quality. Simple. I'd rather that money go elsewhere

Liverpool are doomed next season

He's not Arsenal quality based on what, standards set by players that left you circa a decade ago? Arsenal quality right now is Giroud and Sanogo. I'm pretty sure he'd outscore both of those in your setup.

What is there to suggest that Remy can't make the step up? Let's not try to make out like he's a Darren Bent who's made a name for himself at relegation fodder, he's a skilled footballer who's scored goals everywhere he's been.

It's a no brainer to take a punt at £8.5 million, can't believe this is even up for debate.

He wouldn't,and his injury record helps cement that fact .

I'd even argue he's not even a upgrade on giroud ,

Not to mention we have Campbell back after a good world cup showing

Seems like pool are doing what arsenal did when we lost rvp. Very interested to see how you guys do next year

He almost did playing for Newcastle in a considerably worse team with considerably less games so I'd be interested to hear what your thinking is. Is he not a good enough footballer to fit in with how you play?

Campbell scored 8 goals in Greece and whilst I do rate him I wouldn't use a World Cup as an indication of how he'll do on a weekly basis in the Premier League, I remember El Hadji Diouf.

Almost is almost , fact is he didn't worse strikers have had higher numbers than he did playing for worse teams,

He's got pace but isn't really that talented of a footballer for most of the second half of the season he was poor(when not injured which was also frequent) he wasn't balling on a different level to the rest of the Newcastle squad

As for Campbell I only mentioned it because that's a arsenal striker that you didn't get take into account

You offered nothing to convince me he wouldn't outscore Giroud and Sanogo.

 

lol almost is almost? Giroud played 10 games more and got 2 goals more in a considerably better team, those numbers don't reflect badly on Remy.

 

Newcastle collapsed in the second half of the season which was more to do with Pardew than any of the players on the park, Remy was one of the few players that came out of the season with any credit from their fans.

 

I feel like I'm talking to someone about Darren Bent. Very strange.

[Heero Yuy]

Remy will thrive at pool tbh, should do good numbers.

 

 

I'd take him at Arsenal as we need that type of forward in certain games + depth

[Benicio del Toney]

Some madness being spoken still lol.

 

Why do people think you need to replace like for like?

 

Replacing Suarez like for like is virtually impossible but the combined input of Lallana, Remy and a more experienced Sterling & Coutinho can very well replace or outdo Suarez's output last season.

[Bruno Di Gradi]

Only thing i can say is. Unlike Tottenham with bale, Liverpool didnt depend on only Suarez but Suarez made a massive difference. The team is still capable but with much more games are they gonna be able to handle it? 

 

I think they should leave Remy as a last option coz i bet this guy will get injured and miss a good 3months

Combined them players won't get the same amount of goals or assists.

I would love Remy at Chelsea.

Inconsistent ,injury prone , his actually conversion rate is like 2% higher than Giroud.

The fact that giroud played more games alone is important ,what good is somebody who misses 25 games though injury.

The worse team is redundant or are James beattie and Darren Bent world beaters? They where not top level same with Remy IMO ,he'll do a job sure but I honestly can't seem him getting 20+ he's never been able to before in his life ,Giroud has outscored him in France when they both played for average teams

He did come out as one or there best players ,so did the above players

Make no mistake I'm not saying he's shit, just that for arsenal he's a upgrade for giroud just a sideways step

He's just not that top class level, that's why he's going to be backup for you mkII imo

Demba ba mkII

Both arsenal and pool should be aiming higher

I've read back over the last couple pages and can't see where anyone has said Liverpool need a Suarez clone?

 

Point I'm making is Suarez is a world class player who put Liverpool on another level. Now he's gone to keep themselves on that level they need another top player(s)

 

You'll see soon and jump ship again no doubt

[TF S4DK]

Remy is a good buy, great at the price tbh.

 

However, when you've just lost Suarez and your using Giroud and Sanogo to debate or validate the signing of Remy, I think your forgetting what Wenger tried to do a year ago.

 

None of them 3 are taking you to the promise land.

Lmfao

 

Suarez was present when Liverpool finished 7th which people conveniently forget.

 

They don't need another top player only one who works very well in their system.

 

They need even less of a top player if they can sort out the defensive issues.

[Kuffir]

yeah i think this demise of liverpool thing is being greatly overstated

 

for one when was they on top anyway, i mean really?

 

secondly i dont think they're gonna have any amount of trouble reaching the same or a similar amount of goals this season

 

with europe it would've been difficult for them to replicate the success of last season even with suarez

[Thizz]

Gonna come 6th an out of CL first round.

[Kuffir]

ye i think they will be battling for 4th n ending up a europa spot with spurs n everton

[Kuffir]

assuming lvg is the second coming
